Husband, Spend Some Gold Coins

That night, Xie Qi didn’t sleep peacefully. He had a dream within a dream, where he was chased and intercepted. What was even more terrifying was dreaming about Qin Yizhi reached into his mouth with pliers, clamped his teeth, and pulled them out one by one.

When he woke up, Xie Qi’s face and body were covered in sweat, he was already cold, and his body was sticky. He had to get up and take a shower before going to school.

During class, he was also absent-minded, frequently lost in thought.

Honestly, when Qin Yizhi was in a vegetative state, and Yao Wenzhu talked about getting married, he didn’t feel anything real in his heart. But when Qin Yizhi woke up, everything changed. He genuinely wanted to get married but also scared of it. It was hard to explain that feeling clearly.

There was an indescribable panic that he couldn’t quite understand. Could it be premarital anxiety?

Fan Qingyue approached him, “I was talking to you yesterday. Why didn’t you check the group chat?”

Looking dazed, Xie Qi’s aura was anxious. Sensing something off, Fan Qingyue couldn’t help but ask, “What’s wrong? Why do you seem unhappy?”

Xie Qi removed his glasses and replied, “Maybe I’m just tired.”

Fan Qingyue reminded him, “The college entrance examination is in just over two months. It’s too late to lose focus now.”

Xie Qi: “…”

Too many things had happened recently, and Xie Qi’s mind was indeed a little confused.

This matter was becoming more and more troublesome.

After school, Xie Qi hesitated to go to the hospital. However, when Yao Wenzhu sent a text message, he had no choice but to sling his schoolbag over his shoulder and leave the classroom.

Fan Qingyue caught up with him and asked, “Do you want me to take you to the hospital today?”

Xie Qi thought for a moment, “It’s better if you take me. I’m sorry for the trouble.”

He was afraid of getting distracted while riding his shared bicycle, so he asked Fan Qingyue to drive him for the day.

Fan Qingyue brought out his electric scooter and said, “Hop on.”

Xie Qi got into Fan Qingyue’s scooter. Fan Qingyue, a talkative person, started chatting again, “You’ve actually lost quite a bit of weight lately. Are you not eating well? You didn’t look this thin when you sat in my scooter before.”

Xie Qi, also distracted, pinched his face upon hearing this. He had indeed lost some weight, but there wasn’t much he could do about it. The high school cafeteria food was quite bland. Teacher Hou usually cooked at home, and the food was delicious, so he ate a lot. Now that the man was in the hospital, he had to manage on his own, and he couldn’t eat as well.

Fan Qingyue said, “You can’t continue like this. Don’t faint from malnutrition during the college entrance examination. Why don’t you come over to my place for a meal?”

Xie Qi replied, “It’s nothing, let’s not bother. I’ll manage on my own, and I won’t suffer from malnutrition.”

“Okay, just consider it. You can come anytime.”

.

Upon arriving at the hospital, Fan Qingyue parked the scooter and entered the elevator with Xie Qi.

But as the elevator reached their floor, Xie Qi hesitated and said, “Wait a moment, I’ll go see the patient first.”

“Uh, why didn’t you call him ‘husband’ today?” Fan Qingyue keenly noticed the change.

Xie Qi: “…”

“How come you went from calling him ‘husband’ to calling him ‘the patient?” Fan Qingyue asked again.

Xie Qi covered his face and sighed, “It’s because he woke up, of course.”

Fan Qingyue: “…”

He covered his mouth to stop himself from screaming, “Damn, that’s so embarrassing. Ah! What should I do?”

Xie Qi touched his face and slid his fingers down, revealing his red eyes. “The problem now is that when he wakes up, he still has to fulfill his promise and marry me.”

Fan Qingyue: “…”

Xie Qi slapped his own cheek and said, “It’s over, when you are riding a tiger and it’s hard to get off.”

Fan Qingyue was very envious of Xie Qi hugging a golden egg and being supported each month, but just like Xie Qi thought, a good husband was when he was really in a vegetative state. If he woke up and they had to continue being husband and wife, it would be really embarrassing.

Fan Qingyue said to him with some sympathy: “There is no other way, just admit it. Your family is indeed short of money anyway, and they have money, uh, it’s okay to bend a bit.”

Xie Qi said nothing; this matter he couldn’t figure out clearly, so he put down his hand a little tiredly and said to him: “Let’s do this for now. I’ll go see how he is doing.”

After parting with Fan Qingyue, he walked to Qin Yizhi’s ward, and within a few steps he arrived at the door. When he arrived at the door of the ward, he felt a little homesick again.

… Could he not be worried or afraid? What kind of thing that made Qin Yizhi suddenly wake up; he couldn’t tell clearly.

Hesitating at the door for a long time, knowing that running away would not solve the problem, Xie Qi pushed the door open and went in.

Unexpectedly, Qin Yizhi was not in the ward.

Xie Qi breathed a sigh of relief, but wondered where the person had gone. He took out his mobile phone to send a message to Yao Wenzhu. However, before the message was sent, he felt someone looking at him. The sight was so hard to ignore, and he seemed to have something in his heart. With a premonition, he turned around and saw Qin Yizhi sitting in a wheelchair looking at him calmly, with the mute caregiver behind him.

Xie Qi: “…”

He put away his cell phone and stood there not knowing what to say.
